A toast to my family and friends! Perhaps a bit cheesy but nonetheless sincere. May the new year find you blessed with an abundance of joy and happiness!

 

 

Happy New Year

As traditions go 
the one we know 
and celebrate each year
is filled with hope 
and helps us cope 
with all our struggles and fears 

A mark in time 
to draw the lines 
finding new resolve 
courageous new hearts 
courageous new starts 
our happiness involves 

It's out with the old
and in with the new 
all perspectively
whatever it is
we're trying to do 
self respectively 

Fighting for happy
and searching for joy
we struggle and wrestle each day
without understanding 
our forceful commanding 
to steadily stand in our way

Blessed are the wise 
who've opened their eyes 
seeing so clearly anew
all that you seek
once hopeless and bleak
is right there in front of you

With an new inner voice
let's make a new choice
to abandon emotional drear
and give us the gift
with each glass we lift
of a healthier Happy New Year!
